Show HN: I built a scalable visual workflow automation platform – Flowripple (flowripple.com)

Last year I posted about FlowRipple on Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43139138) when it was just a private beta. Now it's live.

Every SaaS ends up hardcoding workflows- payment notifications, onboarding sequences, churn alerts, all scattered across backend code. Every change requires engineering tickets and deployments. As a solo dev, I was stuck maintaining this forever.

FlowRipple lets anyone on the team (or me solo) update workflows visually without code changes. SDK triggers from your app (Node.js live, Python soon, or via HTTP request), webhooks, or schedules -> drag and drop builder -> Slack/email/HTTP actions with conditions/delays.

I got a lot of questions back then asking how it was similar to n8n or Zapier, which kind of made me question things. I even suspended work on it for about 6 months and focused on my day job. But the need for this focused tool (unlike general solutions like n8n/Zapier) just kept growing.

Honestly, I don't know if this will pick up or not. All I know is it solves a real problem for me and I had fun building it. Please do give it a try and let me know your thoughts , i will be building priority integrations for people on pro plan so that they can get more value out of it.



Landing page is at : https://flowripple.com , HN would not let me post it again because i did a Show HN 6 months back


Is it using your Email Server, or is it possible to connect my smtp Server?

Really nice build!


For now it's using my email server, but i am open to add a smtp email integration to send it via user's service , i was conflicted which one should i integrate and just solved my problem for now and thought of thinking at scale later when i actually make it public .


There are just too many things for the same thing eg for email there's - mailchimp, resend, loops , ofc a simple smtp server


Thank you for your answer, i Love the Idea ans give IT a try for my new Project.

I give you Feedback the next days


Thank you! I'd love to hear what you think of it
